.Net Config File Library

October 5, 2013

C#.Net, Visual Basic .Net

Windows 2000/XP, Windows Vista/7

The .Net Config File Library is a wrapper for the Windows initialization (INI) file functions that simplifies and expands upon their existing functionality. This library is available for use in any .Net-supporting language, i.e. Visual Basic, C#, and C++, or can be compiled directly into VB.Net applications.

Although Microsoft recommends using the Windows registry for saving settings between executions, INI config files have several advantages over using the registry that makes them perfect for small or portable applications. I not only coded this library but use it in all of my apps as well. 😉
